Edit: maybe "reject" is a better approach than "warn".
Especially unnamed, unlabeled groups. These will have newly auto-generated names assigned each time the XLSForm is re-uploaded. kobotoolbox/formpack#206 can be triggered by this, but even when that is fixed, groups whose names change with every version are going to create a mess in the exports (likely new columns for each group [1] [2] [3]).
👍
I feel that if someone uploads an incorrect XLSForm we should in the future reject it (with useful feedback), as we do for many kinds of errors; but importing an invalid form and silently adding / updating names goes in the area of editing someone's form.

How to reproduce:
begin_repeat_oqAkea1ft
begin_repeat_B8cPyAGB7
; notice it's different than the name seen in (3)Workaround for when this happens (or even when people deliberately change group names): https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/export-failed-error/13957. I'm unsure whether the workaround can be used in all cases.
